SNOW

[Mark]

Yay, snow, snow, snow

I won't need to go to the Tauerntreffen now.............maybe I won't be able to get the bike out.

Chains all the way.

Just getting ready for the M4 commute. This could be the dumbest thing I've ever done, but I want to know how she handles in snow. Taking a flask JIK

It's alright for you, you've got a job, I've got to get out there and pretend I've got to get to work.

Got a day off here, but I plan on taking the MZ for a spin anyway, just to see the look on folks faces.

A long succession of 4wd ers going by the house all morning.

Power and internet going like the fiddlers elbow.

Bring on the dragon !

So much for this 'Red Alert' snow, it is rubbish, turning to water as soon as you compress it.

Tomorrows ice should be fun though.

Didn't make it. Quarter tonne of bike on road tyres just didn't cut the mustard.

Wuss!

It does raise the question of what bike is best suited to the conditions for solo riders as opposed to those with combos, pick up-ability seems to be my first thought, but then you have to be able to get along too.

I have C90s doing well, and I plan to try an MZ 125/50

Anyone with other suggestions

It doesn't really matter because it is cold you are so wrapped up nobody will recognise you.

Do you think we'll get many Harleys at this years Dragon then ?

Do they make one that could be picked up on the ice ?

MT 350?
The xbr does well in snow. Not today though as carb playing up. In fact did not go very far at all.

If only it was like this for the dragon. That would see off the 'day visitor pansies'

Yes there are going to be about 40 of us.

Rob has sussed it out.

I remember following a snow plough down the motorway on a CB20RS as a young man. It handled it with aplomb and the disc brake really impressed me, pulling up the bike pretty quickly when pumped fast. I don't remember what tyres it was on, probably TT100s.

Yep, snow, wouldn´t that be great on the Dragon……
 


Lots of space to put up your tent and your gear and especially your white boots will not get muddy. 


 
Will need a fire to keep the drinks fluid, though!

I beg your pardon!

If the bike won't go forward no matter what (and that's on a level drive!) I cant see what the riders to do?? Least I was trying.

Have to say though, makes you realise how good little thumpers are. Never "not made it cos of snow" before. In fact, I positively loved riding the XT in this sort of stuff.
